My fave.
I like Linux, I hate the app names. It's confusing as hell, especially if you are looking for some app that functions the way you imagine, then they name something weird like Nautilus instead of file explorer lmao.

For some reason people get all ways extra fabulous when they make open source Software and need a fancy name instead of a great descriptive one...
Or they could name it atleast nautilus the file explorer or something.
lol, thaat is so true. It's never just "File Explorer", is it?
It doesn’t exactly help that there’s like 5-10 of each kind of thing.
For me personally, having 5-10 of everything is good. I find what I like the best and you find what you like best. It can make extra work, but if you subtract out all the time I'd spend fighting the windows UI or looking at ads and "recommended content", I think we may actually come out on the better end of things.
Thing is, I use Linux cuz it allows to have simplicity and convenience where those things are of value to me.
Not having an online always connected local user account is simplicity to me.
Having file permissions changeable with a simple command rather than having to fuck about a ui and registry is simplicity to me.
Having an os that's under my control is convenient for me.
Having a user interface that suits my wants/needs and has ample options for customization is convenient for me.
No lie, it's got to the point that it's more convenient to use Linux. Windows has become very intrusive with trying to help, privacy issue landmines you have to navigate, it's not unpleasant to use Windows. It's just more work to do it.
Don't worry guys, I know how to fix this. I'll just create another package manager!! That should do it
Apparently Windows users just want something that never works, is unsupportable, and required re-installation 3 times a year.
This meme was made by not a real Linux user actually.
As a disclaimer, I didn't make this myself, and I lovingly use Linux for all my computing needs.
But when I selfhost nextcloud to avoid google, or use proton, I am aware that I don't allways choose the easy way.
I am aware that I don’t allways choose the easy way.
We don't do it because it's easy, we do it because we thought it would be easy.
Meme creator has obviously never used Linux Mint.
I love simplicity. This is why I use Linux. Its just simpler to get simple Software that does just one thing and that good.
And I love tinkering with my os.
I disagre. But don't want to downvote.
Nowadays, knowing nothing of how windows works any more, I am always frustrated if I have to try to use it
I love simplicity and convenience. I just don't like giving up control.
The person who made this has never had to deal with Windows driver issues obviously
My fav is when shit doesn't work and Windows is like "would you like me to help you?". Sure, go ahead, I've got nothing better to do. Maybe I'll buy a lottery ticket. Chances are better I'll win the jackpot.
This feels like a comment from 1997. Aside from occasionally updating video drivers for a new video game, I can't remember the last time I had to maintain--much less fix--a driver.
Oh! Apparently I'm in 1997, then. Remarkable that they have Windows 11, then. I have a machine where the Microsoft provided drivers cause screen blanking when hardware accelerated video plays. Installing the AMD drivers fixes that, but I've yet to figure out what the magic sauce is to prevent Windows Update from overwriting part of the drivers that Adrenalin installs. One boot after installing and the machine works great, then the next boot it'll just be a black screen of death. At least AMD's installer helpfully makes a restore point.
Sounds like my experience with Manjaro lol
